Are you talking about opening and reading the file, or are you trying to the the contents of the Notepad window? Notepad doesn't put any locks on the files it opens, so use standard file methods to open and read it. Reading the Notepad window will be much more difficult to do in VB because now your trying to read the memory of another process, something that is "mostly" forbidden in Windows.
